The duo refused to explain the source of the money they had in their vehicles when interviewed. But the Proceeds of Crime Act puts the burden of proof on the person carrying the cash to prove the money is from a legitimate source.
Irfan Zaffar, 40, and Saud Zaffar, 34, both of Eastbourne Avenue in Hodge Hill, both pleaded admitted transferring criminal property at Manchester Crown Court on June 8.
They were both jailed for 22 months in jail at the same court today, Thursday, December 2.
